Datation UPb sur zircons des dolérites tholéiitiques pyrénéennes (ophites) à la limite Trias–Jurassique et relations avec les tufs volcaniques dits « infra-liasiques » nord-pyrénéens

The tholeiitic doleritic magmatism (ophites) in the Aspe valley of the Pyrenees has been dated on the Triassic–Jurassic boundary (199±2 Ma) by the UPb method on zircon (SHRIMP). Emplacement of the ophites was probably synchronous with that of the earliest ‘Infraliassic’ Ségalas tuffs. The ophites are thus related to the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) whose emplacement linked with the fracturing of Pangea, preceded the opening of the Atlantic Ocean.
